c. Canterbury, of 141 Franklin ST.,
Boston, Mass, writes, that, suffering
for years from Indigestion, he was at
last induced to try Ayers Sarsaparilla
and, by its use, was entirely cured.
Mrs. Joseph Aubin, of High street,

eat substantial food, became very weak,
and was unable to care for her family.
Neither the medicines prescribed by
physicians, nor any of the remedies

helped her, until she commenced the
use Of Ayers Sarsaparilla. "Three

Electric Mail Boxos.

Boston Herald: Yesterday afternoon
Postmaster Corse, Assistant Postmaster
Dale and superintendent of Carriers
Mcdonald, Of the Boston postofics spent
hall an hour in the examination of a
newly invented electric mail box. The
invention is Q very simple one, and tho
contrivance works something iu this
way: A letter is left by q carrier in the
atreet hog Of 9 business A. the
letter drops into the box 1t completes
an electric circuit, and a little bell con-
tanned In clock hanging in the inner
officer of the firm rings, thus announcing
the presence of the letter in the outer
boz. At the same time that the bell
notifies the ear of the arrival of the
letter in the box without q little white
diso falls across an opening in the case
OF the clock thus conveying the same
intelligence to the eye. A common
electric battery is used and an ordinary
eight-day clock employed, and the whole
contrivanca is very simple. On the enc
hand. 1t will immediatly notify the oc-
cnpant OF an Office several stories above
the street or the. occupant OF q lofty fat
in an apartment hotel or the busy house,
wife, OF the arrival OF the letter and on
the other hand will save the carrier many
needless steps and the vexatious delays
occasioned by people who will not
'Ensver the door bell. Postmaster Corse
expressed great interest In the invention
and said that in his opinion, it would, il
generally adopted effect great
in the time and force of the letter car
rlere.

Tho Trunk Mystery solved.


New York, Jan. 27-This afternoon de-
tectives in this CITY arrested q man who
appears to be guilty Of the murder of
the man whose mangled remains were
shipped by express to Baltimore in a
trunk and were found there yesterday.
a Brooklyn Balloon keeper identified Ed
ward Younger as the man who had
brought the trunk to his place on Sat-
urduy and had asked to leave it for a
time. The detectives arrested Younger,
searched the premises occupied by HIM,
and found that q man named August
Blatz had been living with Younger, and
that Friday last they quarreled. and that
Biatz had not been seer since. The
walls of the room where Blatz had slept
and the ceiling wore despatched with
blood, and some one had attempted to
dig the stains out of the walls. They
found a large butchers saw marked
with blood and q hammer and knife also
blood marked. The bedding Baltz had
slept on was also bloody. The police
then arrested Edward younger, jr., aged
seventeen, son of the other prisoner.
He said that Baltz had been living with
him for some time and had plenty of
money. His father wanted Baltz to
give him some money to 60 into business
with. Baltz refused, and his father and
he quarreled. On Monday last he saw
his father washing the floor and asked
what was the matter, and his father said
that he had a serious quarrel with Blatz,
and he would never see him again. He
then told his son he must say nothing
about 1t or he would get HIM into
troubla.

END OF A SAD LIFE.

suicide OF = Girl Made an 0utcnst for
the Sin of Der Parents.
The Utica IN. " Herald of q recent
date contains the details Of a suicide of
more than ordinary interest which oc-
CURED in the suburbs OF Syracuse. The
event was horrible in itself, but the
circumstances leading up to and sur
rounding it were OF that character which
confirms the cid saying That truth is
stranger than fiction. The victim be-
longs to that class OF characters whose
abnormal mental and mortal moods Poo
and Hawthorre we're 80 fond of analy-
zing, but neither of these romancers
ever oonjured up in his imagination Q
more pathetic or strange tale than this
episodec cut Of real life.
The victim was Mis- Aibertine Have
ner, the iliegitimate daughter Of q
woman formerly living near her, who
had never revealed to her the name of
her father. The mother died some time
ago, leaving the girl to fight her way
alone in the world. She was G person
OF more than ordinary mental ability
and we'll educated. but her constituencies
was such that she secluded herself in q
little house. where she lived with q few
animals for companions. Last Saturday
a naighbor discovered thst the house
was on fire, and on approaching it saw
Miss Havener moving about in the
burning room. 1t was too late to help
her, and ia . few minutes the blazing
walls fell and burned her.
A letter which was left behind her in
the barn told Its sad story. Her house
was mortgaged for $500, and to meet
this she had nearly starved herself ana
her ANIMALS, but all in vain. Shs says in
her letter: .On the 10Th OF January, so

Wales of the British steamer "New

very heavy western gale, accompanied
by tremendous sea. Considerable
damage had been done to boats and

In the Early Days.

The lack of discipline in the Union
army in the early part of the war is
eXemplilied by couple of anecdotes
told by Colonel w. A. James, an old
and well-known veteran "When we
were in the defences before Washing
ton, in 1861, General Doubleday, rigid
martinez, was in command of the
brigade, which was made up almost
entirely of young and unframed SOL
diers. One of them, lank and over
grown westerner, was doing picket
duty one day when Doubleday, glorious
in gilt and brass, rode by on his
charger, accompanied by his entire
staff. AS they passed the big west
erner stared at them with OPEN
mouthed wonder and neglected to sa-
lutte. The general noticed the error
and rode back, with fire in his eye.
" What is your name?" he asked the
picket. The picket told him. Well,
| am General Doubleday, commanding
the defences of Washington" " Are
ye, indeed" said the soldier, non
chalantly. " WAL, we hev gosh fred
fine job, and hope we can hold it,"
The general galloped off again without
a word. AT another time a soldier
who was digging trench hit his cap
tain on the head with a clot of dirt.
The officer rushed up and reprimanded
the private. Snow, look-a-here, cap"
said the latter, "my business here is
digging and yours is bossing the COM
pany on parade, and if you attend to
your business I'll attend to mine"
